Show for better no as editor As the time dimeis is near at hand when we may look fur for our roads roada to become in their usual almost impassible condition I 1 though a t few to our city fathers our county commissioners sio siou ners ers and lh ill p people eople generally might not be out of place at this time especially as there aro are BO 60 many views of the question exi pressed by different brent people on the subject of good rovis and the best way of keeping them good in the differ ert states slates ot of tile the union or of course if those itte interested rested choose to act upon tha suge tion made all right it wont cost them anything and there is nj na harm done the usual way of maling making or repairing roads in this county is to take the gravel as it i from the gravel batik bank large rocks an aal I 1 small smal I 1 as it come to hand and spread it on the roade six inches or a foot deep just as it happens with i out regard to prade rho ihu consequence is that th fir trivel avel with our narrow tired wheels els keeps the roads cut up into ruts tho the large barp ei rocks locks are worked up till 0 o the surface to be jolted by every team or buggy that travels traveis on oil the road sand in my mind if there thera is anything on earth calculated calu to make a man feel mean more than adv any other it is to I 1 e jolted over overlarge large larg loose rocks in traveling now I 1 would su suggest niest in the first place that the city and county combine and buy a stone crusher and in an electric motor to run it the motor can b hi to the crusher direct without beltley belting I 1 fo eo that it could be easily moved to where it was needed the sl pees beet supervisor is sup supposed to be intelligent enough to understand the running of it no rocks athria need be ba put on the road larger thin a hend hena egg egg and all the gravel would combine and make a good solid road but in order to make the roads a success and have vir permanent good roads the traveling public must combine and do their their part discard the narrow tired wion wi ti on arid and adopt in the place of it the tired wa eje say ef el inch tires let tha F ii L axle te be the game length as the present wagon arid the hind axle a as ai i much longer so eo that the wheels would run just outside of the front wheels each wagon would then be a twenty four inch roller which would keep the roads roada perfectly smooth and solid will say that a wagon of this kind will haul very much hard harder ler than the present wagon bat I 1 will venture the assertion that a team leim tint thit will haul a ton on tile the prasert wagon will haul with the kame iamo case from thirty hundred to two tons with a broad tired vl wagon after the roads got solid now it seems t ti me so reasonable that almost any man can see tile tho philosophy of i it t at a glance and if a few of our prominent farmers would adopt this style of wagon the adv advantages antar Es derived from it would be so apparent that it would goan be generally adopted I 1 will heie add that the writer hals hab no ax to grind in these suggestions for he h does a all I 1 of hit hia traveling on the side walk on foot but I 1 would like t to 0 see our roads in such euch cindi condition tion that our people can come to do their business with smiling faces ins instead ead of feeling like figh fighting fightlin tin ith every man they meet respectfully aci A cinex arzen LOGAN feb esth ISK |
